How far can 40 hats travel around the world? Each recipient takes a photo of themselves in the stylish headgear, adds their signature and passes their numbered hat on to a trusted friend. Number 14 is in Hammersmith, but 23 is in Hanoi. A P40B project in celebration of Phil Woodford's 40th birthday.

Canada High

There's a story behind every titfer, but this one's a particularly tricky customer. It might be hat number 16. But then again, it might not.

The reason for the doubt is all to do with its days under controlled release in London. Without going into all the sordid details, I sent a hat to my friend Louise who hangs out on the Purley Way in Croydon. The great British postal service being what it is, the branded headgear never arrived. So I sent a replacement. And then, guess what? Yup, that's right. The original one turned up. So Louise had TWO titfers. She sent one travelling towards Australia via the Sound of Music stage show in London. And the other one was sent to Toronto with her friend Jackie. She poses here in front of the mighty tall CN Tower and then takes her hat for a ride in the elevator (see below).

Let's not get too hung up over numbers. The important thing is that we've conquered Canada. The rest of the world must surely follow.
